Convert String to character array

This example shows how to do a String to character array conversion. The String class has a neat method for doing this, toCharArray().
In the code example below the String is converted to a char array and each element of the array is printed out.

/**
* Main.java
*
* @author www.javadb.com
*/
public class Main {

    /**
     * Converts a String to a character array
     */
    public void convertStringToCharArray() {

        String str = "Abcdefg";
        char[] cArray = str.toCharArray();

        for (char c : cArray)
            System.out.println(c);
    }
    /**
     * Starts the program
     *
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new Main().convertStringToCharArray();
    }
}

The output from the executed code:

A
b
c
d
e
f
g
